016 - Martin Luther King Day. I think this will be last free weekend I have until the latter half of February. Works gonna be picking up, but I have a trip in March that I'm really looking forward to.

I really liked the icicle on this.

Meine Angewohnheit, bei roten Ampeln aus dem Autofenster rauszufotografieren, hat schon schlechtere Ergebnisse gezeitigt. Richtig gute aber kaum. Das hier auch nicht.

Plaça Cerdà in Barcelona.

It should be noted that there are two left turn faces despite one sign.

Ever have a problem getting a signal to trip for you on your bicycle? A solution, if it is available, is to ride slowly, off to the right, and let the car behind you pass. That way, the car will trip the light.

Yes, in a perfect world, the light would properly sense me and my bicycle. Unfortunately, lights tend to be designed to sense cars.

This photo is from a helmet cam video where I did exactly that. It was taken at SW Allen and SW King in Beaverton, Oregon, USA. 12/23/2011 about 2:50PM.

I've had mixed results with this traffic signal. Sometimes I can get it to trip for me. Sometimes it won't. So this is an interesting video because it shows an instance that motor vehicles can be useful: to handle difficult-to-trigger traffic lights.

(No, unlike many of my other photos this one is NOT of a motorist disobeying a traffic rule.)

I presume the heads which are hung up will be used when traffic is shifted to that side of Baker.

If I had pressed the button a second or so sooner, you'd have seen the LED walking man over the incandescent man.

I get a shot of downtown Jonesville.

The note should give relavant explanation.

The backs did in fact, say "Econolite" on them. Dana Point is loaded with Econolite signals.

Close up of the Traffic Light Tree at Westferry Circus by Pierre Vivant (1998).

"The sculpture imitates the natural landscape of the adjacent London Plane trees while the changing pattern of the lights reveals and reflects the never-ending rhythm of the surrounding domestic, financial and commercial activities."

The Traffic Light Tree has now been moved to a new location.

Looking at the southwest corner.

This shot was worse because the sun was in front of me.

Stuck in the traffic on a Friday night. Result? A good bokeh photo because of the car lights :)

A not-so-unique signal in Anaheim, CA heading toward Yorba Linda, CA. According to the NAVTEQ map that Flickr uses, a lot had changed at this intersection in the past couple of years.

On Airport Highway.

Contra-flow bicycle lane on Polk Street at Hayes with bicycle traffic lights.

It looks like this light gets a separate left turn face, but why one isn't installed for the other direction should be a bit of concern, especially if they continue to use a lag left. (See that photo for more details
